I saw this thing on discovery channel were these guys (third world country)cut tire' s and made sandles to run with(they are some of the fastes runner' s in the world). NIKE thought if they gave all of them a pare of good running shoes it would be great publicity, BACKFIRED. They said there homemade shoes were much more comfortable.........The moral to this story is you have to buy what is good for you, not what is good for everyone else. Why not go back to the shoe you were using, or don' t they make that style anymore?
